In a large bowl combine Toasted Sesame Oil, Cucumber White Barrel Aged Balsamic, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger. If you want to make it spicy, you can optionally add the red chili flakes or Sriracha Sauce.

Consider using Olivelle’s Black Garlic Tamari Balsamic Vinegar instead of soy sauce. It’s a great substitute!
